You
can do ab exercises until the cows come home. But if
you've got extra belly fat, your strong abs won't show.
To budge the belly fat, you have to look at what you eat
and how active you are. Eat less and move more, and make
good-for-you food choices. Think lean protein and
veggies, not greasy burgers and fries.

Be a Winner
Obstacles
don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't
turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go
through it, or work around it. Do not let what you
cannot do interfere with what you can do.
If you can accept losing, you can't win.
You have no choices about how you lose, but you do have
a choice about how you come back and prepare to win
again. Something constructive comes from every defeat.
When you want to win a game, you have to teach. When you
lose a game, you have to learn.
When you lose, you're more motivated. When you win, you
fail to see your mistakes and probably no one can tell
you anything.
A winner is someone who recognizes his God-given
talents, works his tail off to develop them into skills,
and uses these skills to accomplish his goals.

Nutritional Information:
Per Serving
Calories: 126 Kcal,
Fat: 2 g,
Carbohydrate: 23 g,
Protein: 4 g,
Fiber:1.5 g. |
Ingredients:
-
1/4 cup yellow cornmeal (wholegrain)
-
2˝ cups reduced-fat milk (2 percent), scalded (see
Note)
-
1/4 cup molasses (can use part brown sugar for
milder flavor)
-
1/4 tsp. salt
-
1 tsp. ground ginger
-
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
-
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
-
1˝ cups fruit, fresh, frozen, or canned (peaches,
pears, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries,
cranberries, etc.), lightly sweetened to taste, as
necessary
|
Directions:
-
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Coat 6 ramekins or a
baking pan or small casserole with cooking oil
spray.
-
Put cornmeal in top of a double boiler and hot water
in the bottom pot. Set over medium high heat and
bring water to a simmer.
-
Meanwhile, heat milk until hot and tiny bubbles form
along the sides. (Do not let it come to a boil.)
Stir milk into cornmeal, blending well. Cook over
hot water for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add
molasses, salt, ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon.
Pour into ramekins or other baking pan and bake 40
minutes or until firm.
-
Meanwhile, prepare fruit, depending on what version
you use. Drain canned fruit. Defrost frozen berries,
or wash and hull fresh berries, and lightly sweeten
with sugar. Cranberries, frozen or fresh, can also
be used after cooking in water and sugar, according
to package instructions.
-
If using baking pan, divide pudding among 6 small,
shallow bowls. Over the pudding, in ramekins or
bowls, place two or more varieties of colorful fruit
along the edge of the pudding.
Note: Scalding milk helps blend cornmeal
more easily and speeds the cooking process.
Scald milk by heating it to the point just
before it would begin to boil, or when tiny
bubbles form along the sides. At that point,
immediately remove from heat and promptly add to
cornmeal.
